"NEW" 1967 Dexter Press Coke variations

[whiteymet]

Hi Gang:

I have turned up what I believe to be two new unchecklisted variations from the 1967 Dexter Press set. If you read the below link from PSA you will note at the bottom it says there are no differences between the bios for the team set and All Star set on the Bunning, Mays and Santo cards. Well, I am here to tell you that is not true. See below for different backs for the Mays and Santo. As of now I have not found/seen any different back for the Bunning.

This will open up a new slot on the Mays and Santo PSA player registries and the set checklist. I have found almost an even number for each of the Santo's, while the Mays with the words San Francisco all on the bottom line seems MUCH rarer than the other.

I'm embarrassed that I never spotted that in the last 25 years, one has the last line in the bio starting with 'Home' and the other one has the last line starting with 'Runs'.

If I understand you correctly, I think the Mays Master Set already recognizes the different backs, with the descriptions:

1967 DEXTER PRESS PREMIUMS WILLIE MAYS ALL-STAR
(starts bio with "Bats...")

and

1967 DEXTER PRESS PREMIUMS WILLIE MAYS
(starts bio with "Nickname...")

If you look at the photos in the registry of the two, one All Star Premium and the other as just Premium you will see BOTH have the same reverse. I am pointing out a DIFFERENT back for Mays that PSA says does not exist as they also do with the Santo and Bunning.

I just included links in my original post that will you show both backs.

I have one each of the different backs and PSA gives them different descriptions on the front and different Spec #'s in the set registry. Maybe I'm missing something.

You may very well have the two different backs of Mays. I am looking at the two in the number one Master set owned by Raulus and the third highest graded set that shows front and back and on both backs the last line is Francisco, California.

While the "new" variation that PSA says does not exist the last line says Alabama- Resides in San Francisco, California

It seems you may have both since you reference the two different words to begin the bio while I am referencing the last line

PSA may have graded your two without knowing/understanding the different backs. As they say in their write up about the set in the link I supplied above the Mays Bunning and Santo have no difference between the All Star set and the regular set bios. Which is incorrect as the two Santo's shown above prove as well as the two links I have showing the two different Mays backs.

You're welcome Cliff! :>)

Fun to find new things for your collection isn't it!?

Don't worry Cliff, this one got me also. Out of the 80 copies of this Santo I have, only one copy's last line starts with "runs". With the rest of the copies, the last line all start with "Home". So, I am guessing the copy with the last line starting with "Home" is the most common?

While looking at my Santo cards, found this Bunning back with a mis-print.

TY all, I have reviewed and updated the COMC Data Base. Never realized some of these variations before.

Think PSA will "honor" these and add them to the registry checklist for Mays and Santo?
